**1 **\{*A Psalm* of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.}

א

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise *shall* continually *be* in my mouth.

ב

**2 **My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear *thereof*, and be glad.

ג

**3 **O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

ד

**4 **I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

ה

**5 **They looked unto him, and were lightened:

ו

and their faces were not ashamed.

ז

**6 **This poor man cried, and the LORD heard *him*, and saved him out of all his troubles.

ח

**7 **The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

ט

**8 **O taste and see that the LORD *is* good: blessed *is* the man *that* trusteth in him.

י

**9 **O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for *there is* no want to them that fear him.

כ

**10 **The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good *thing*.

ל

**11 **Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

מ

**12 **What man *is he that* desireth life, *and* loveth *many* days, that he may see good?

נ

**13 **Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

ס

**14 **Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

ע

**15 **The eyes of the LORD *are* upon the righteous, and his ears *are open* unto their cry.

פ

**16 **The face of the LORD *is* against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

צ

**17 ***The righteous* cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

ק

**18 **The LORD *is* nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

ר

**19 **Many *are* the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

ש

**20 **He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

ת

**21 **Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

**22 **The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
